As the Asian quake and tsunami death toll topped 100,000 and is rising, President Bush said the United States' initial grant of $35 million in SE Asia was 'only the beginning of our aid.' He said the United States, India, Australia and Japan have formed an international coalition to coordinate worldwide relief and reconstruction efforts for the Asian region. Aid agencies today warned disease will also cause massive casualties among the survivors as the biggest relief effort in history began.
The president took issue with Jan Egeland, the United Nations' emergency relief coordinator who called the US "stingy" in regard to helping other nations. (Egeland later said his remarks were misinterpreted.) Bush noted that the United States provided $2.4 billion "in food, in cash, in humanitarian relief to cover the disasters for last year. ... That's 40 percent of all the relief aid given in the world last year."

This is so typical of the very people who would say you and I are naive and brain washed in supporting Bush/Cheney. You just have to smile and keep the faith.You're EXACTLY right.

Not sure how many may have seen these videos, but I think they're great. Tours of the White House. President Bush does the Oval Office, Laura does the Diplomatic Room, VP Cheney does his office, Lynne Cheney does the VP residence, etc.
